Measurement
The sample pH is calculated as follows:
pH(sample) =
E(pH,sample) E(pH,Cal1)
61.5 Sens(pH)
pH(Cal1)
−
−×
+
Corrections
The measured pH value is then corrected for systematic deviations from the
reference method using the following equation:
Equation A:
pH(sample,corr.) = A
0
× pH(sample) + A
1
where:
pH(sample) = uncorrected pH value of the sample
pH(sample,corr.) = corrected pH value of the sample.
A
0
= instrument-dependent correction factor
A
1
= instrument-dependent cut-off
Equation A+:
When an additional correction is needed, equation A is first used together with the
constants for the FLEXMODE (195 and 165 µL, no message) mode. Then the
obtained results are put back into equation A as pH(sample) and then treated again,
using the constants for the specific sample handling to obtain the corrected value.
Corrections are as follows:
